I'm not sure if I'm putting this in the right location and i was wondering weather the new Oakley Air-brakes were worth the extra 100$ for this season or should i wait till next season to get them.  I guess what I'm trying to say is: what are good things and what are bad things about them.

Much wider field of view.
Look "cooler" I guess.

I wouldn't say its worth the extra money at all. If you have a large face, the splices are good enough, and if those don't suit you just go with the Crowbars.

if you have night skiing and find your current lens isnt performant enough in all types of light, then the airbrake would be worth the extra $$$ since it includes a second lens and those should keep you covered under all lighting conditions.

Does anyone have a photo of them with airbrakes and poc receptor? I will be purchasing them so am keen to see what the combo is like.

Definitely worth it man. Best goggle on the market. Widest view of view/peripheral vision available. The extremely quick lens change is my favorite part. I literally can switch in less than 30 sec - perfect for changing weather.
